The US-Israel crisis is far from over

Netanyahu should proclaim support for coexisting with a Palestinian state with the provisos that the PA recognize Israel as a Jewish state, accept demilitarization, relinquish the right of return of Arab refugees and end the bloody incitement. He should stress that in the absence of such conditions, trading land for peace merely becomes transformed into a vehicle for the Arab dismemberment of Israel in stages.

Netanyahu may be surprised at the positive response he gains from the American public if he tells the truth and reiterates that the vast majority of Israelis are desperate to separate themselves from the Palestinians. But this cannot be achieved by once again gambling with our security by making concessions without reciprocity to those committed to our destruction.
